Our Future
As the longest-serving provider of adult social care services in the borough of Sefton, we fully intend to be around for another 50 years and beyond! Working closely with our shareholders, Sefton Council, and other key partners within the borough, together we aim to deliver the highest quality support and services to meet the changing needs of people in our community.
The last 18 months have been so very challenging for everyone in Sefton and New Directions. We could not be prouder of the hard work, dedication, and commitment of our staff and volunteers. The resilience shown by our people who attend our services and their families has been nothing short of astonishing.
During this time, we have developed some vital new services such as Rapid Response and various Intermediate Care options, which enables us to support more people to live independent and fulfilling lives. We support over 720 individuals each day across numerous service settings.
With over 400 employees, we pride ourselves on being an employer of choice within the Merseyside area, investing and believing in our staff.
